Three Gigabyte X470 Aorus motherboards appear online
Not one, not two, but three X470 motherboards from Gigabyte have surfaced online. AMD Ryzen 2000 is getting closer to its release; the Gigabyte X470 Aorus Gaming 7 WiFi, the X470 Aorus Gaming 5 WiFi and the X470 Aorus Ultra Gaming.
Gigabyte seems to release at least three models, as you can see from the videocardz leak, these are ATX motherboards with an all dark (nice) black design and RGB lighting, definitely a nice aesthetic upgrade from the X370 version. The photos show four ddr4 memory locks, mostly three PCIe x16 locks (the upper two of which reinforced with metal), two PCIe x1, a proper eight SATA connectors as well as two m.2 slots. The primary m.2 slot is longer (10cm) and shows a heatsink. Also a photo of the backside, you can see a backplate just for the VRM area, interesting. The X470 Aorus Gaming 5 WiFi seems a bit simpler, this model lacks a heatsink on the secondary m.2 slot with the X470 Aorus Ultra Gaming being a more budget solution. Have a peek:

Just a note, GPP only targets video cards. Anything else can have their gaming branding still.

One has to admire how ugly heatsinks on VRMs can get. And how inventive people are when they try to insulate them.
